Lōa stands for land, ocean, and air. It represents our planet as a whole, containing all of the necessary components to sustain ourselves.

This blog is an extension of my skin care brand, Lōa.

I began my journey in high school, after learning about some of the harmful chemicals found in the products I was using. I started by making natural lip balm, with simple ingredients like beeswax and olive oil. The results were fantastic, as the condition of my lips (dry and cracked) improved dramatically. They were healthy again!

I knew I was onto something, so I continued researching and making more products. The more I looked, the more shocking it got. I learned that certain ingredients, like parabens (a class of synthetic preservatives) for example, can potentially have adverse effects on your health.

However, I also learned about all of the incredible herbs and botanicals our planet has to offer. Turmeric, for example, can be an effective treatment for eczema, acne, skin discolouration, and much more.

With all of the new information I had learned, it pushed me to become a natural health advocate.

This isn't just another blog jumping on the natural bandwagon. It's time to break down barriers and get through all of the nonsense. I will explore topics such as healthy solutions for skin problems, to industry lies for profit. Anything that can potentially effect your skin, health and overall well being will be talked about.

In time, I hope to make you knowledgeable about the products and ingredients you choose to put on your skin.

Welcome to the Lōa lifestyle!
